Clarence had just gotten home.
His father-in-law Armstrong gave him a call. âClarence, get the f*ck over here!â
Without another word, he hung up.
Feeling confused, Clarence called back to find out what was going on, but Armstrong declined the call.
Clarence had no choice but to take a taxi to his father-in-lawâs house.
As soon as he reached the hall, he heard Chantelle crying out, âThat damn Clarence!
âItâs alright that heâs a loser, but why give my son trouble?
âBoohoo! Great, my sonâs fired now. How is he going to go on with his life?â
âChantelle, stop crying. When Clarence gets here, weâll ask him what happened,â comforted Peony.
Kaysen was also with them. âThat damn Clarence!
âI think he has something to do with this. He knew I was going to borrow money from Johnsonâs company, so he made Tony lose his job.
âDad! Clarence must have a grudge because of Sunshine District.
âHeâs trying to screw up the bid!
âThe construction team will start working in ten days.
âIf we donât get the loan by then, Sunshine District will have to stop before it can even start! How are we going to explain ourselves to Wonder Group?â
Tony sat there and said nothing. His expression was extremely cold.
âHmph! That damn *sshole. The Murphy family takes care of him, yet heâs causing us all sorts of trouble.â Armstrong banged his fist on the table.
They were all agitated, everyone criticizing Clarence.
Just then, Clarence walked in. âMom, Dad, Iâm here.â
âYou still have the gall to come. What kind of a man are you? Itâs alright if youâre a loser, but you made my son lose his job!â Chantelle looked at Clarence bitterly.
âWhy are you blaming me? You offended Johnson.â Clarence frowned.
On the way over, he figured that Chantelle and Tony had probably complained to Armstrong, so he mentally prepared himself to face them.
âShut up! Itâs your fault.
âIf you didnât do it on purpose, why were you at Johnsonâs company then?
âIt just so happens that Johnson fires Tony on the same day that youâre there.
âItâs definitely your fault!â Chantelleâs eyes were red, and she looked at Clarence with a look one would only give their worst enemy.
Clarence shook his head in amusement. âYouâre overthinking this. I already knew Johnson.â
âI was there to cure him.â
Armstrongâs heart twitched.
âDidnât Clarence cure Peonyâs blocked blood vessels with acupuncture? Can he really treat illnesses?â
âCure? What can you cure?â
Kaysenâs face was cold. âClarence, if you want to work on Sunshine District, just say so!
âIf you werenât such a coward, I would have let you do it.
âWhy do you want to sink to the level of playing such tricks?
âNow that you made Tony lose his job, my five hundred million dollar loan is gone.
âWeâll have to stop working on Sunshine District!
âYouâre so amazing! Clarence, why didnât I realize before that you were so scheming?â
Belle said coldly, âClarence, weâre all part of the Murphy family. Whatâs in it for you to do this to Tony?â
âYouâre not destroying the Murphy family so you can run into Ceciliaâs arms, are you?â Melody crossed her legs and folded her arms.
Clarence was speechless in the face of their jeers.
He understood that these people would never believe him, no matter how much he explained.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âWhy stop talking?â
âAre you admitting to it?â
âPoverty really does stifle ambition! All you know is how to fight with everyone. Canât you do anything serious?â
âA loser will always be a loser. Youâll never improve yourself.â
The group continued to jeer at Clarence.
His mother-in-law Peony snapped, âThatâs enough. You all should have had enough by now. Clarence isnât responsible for this.â
âMom,â cried Kaysen.
âI have my ideas about this.â Peony glanced at Kaysen.
Peony had believed in Mother Mary all her life, and because of the statue of Mother Mary incident from before, her attitude toward Kaysen was not what it used to be.
In the end, Clarence saved her with acupuncture. Despite that, he silently suffered the familyâs ridicule and did not come forward to explain what had happened.
Peony had developed some affection for Clarence.
She also knew that Clarence was not entirely to blame. Her sister Chantelle was more at fault.
Peony was gentle. âClarence, weâre a family. Thereâs no point in dwelling on these things.
âIf you do know Johnson, call him and get Tony his job back.
âAfter all, Sunshine District still needs a loan. If the five hundred million start-up capital isnât approved, weâll have to stop working on Sunshine District, which will be a large impact on the Murphy family.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMom, Iâll try and see.â Clarence nodded.
He called Johnson in front of everyone, asking him if he could hire Tony back.
âMaster Howard, you just have to say the word. Iâll arrange for it right away.â Johnson was quick.
It was less than two minutes later when Tony got a call from the office.
âWhat? Iâm being reinstated? Thank you, Sir. Thank you.â Tony was thrilled.
âTony, you have to thank Clarence for this.â
Peony was somewhat surprised that Johnson had actually answered Clarenceâs call.
âWhatâs there to thank him for? It was his fault anyway.â Chantelle glared at Clarence in disgust. âLetâs go home!â
